Wild Turkey 101 Proof Christmas Rye Whiskey 1989 with 50ml

101 proof. 1989. With original 50ml miniature. Wild Turkey Christmas Rye — the 1989 vintage of Wild Turkey's rare holiday seasonal rye release, now over 35 years from original bottling, presented with the original 50ml companion miniature that was issued alongside the full-size bottle.

Wild Turkey's Christmas Rye was produced in limited quantities for the holiday market during the 1980s and early 1990s — a seasonal release that has become one of the most collectible Wild Turkey expressions from the pre-revival era. The 1989 vintage differs from the 1984 Pennsylvania-distilled expression also in the Wooden Cork collection — by 1989, Wild Turkey's rye production was operating from its Lawrenceburg, Kentucky facility rather than the Pennsylvania source used for the 1984 bottling.

The inclusion of the original 50ml miniature makes this set particularly rare — the companion miniature was produced in the same holiday seasonal format and rarely survives intact with the full-size bottle after more than three decades.
